8.2

Safety Precautions

1. Use an AC power supply with the specified voltage.

2. Execute calibration under the following conditions in a location free of dust, vibration, noise or other

adverse conditions:
Temperature







Relative humidity

70% or lower

3. Allow the 6240B to warm-up for 2 hours or longer before calibration.

Allow other measuring instruments to be used in calibration to warm-up for the period of time spec-
ified before the calibration.

4. After calibration, note the dates of the calibration and the next scheduled calibration on a card or

sticker, etc. for convenience.

5. Calibration by key operation is not available.

Execute calibration by using remote commands via GPIB or USB.
